Legacy Park has 2 playgrounds, 1 large and 1 small, and I'll discuss the large one first. The playground features equipment for toddlers through school-aged children. There are 2 baby swings, 2 sling swings, and a Liberty Swing, which allows children and adults in wheelchairs to swing while staying in their wheelchairs.

Kirkwood Park is huge. It has many amenities and the playground is worth a visit.

The older kid's playground is large at Kirkwood Park. There are multiple slides and places to climb,  3 sling swings, an ADA swing, sit and spins, a huge boulder to climb, hand-over-hand rings, and more. There is a metal slide that can be used for kids with a cochlear implant. There is also a spray fountain near this playground. It's just a pole but little ones enjoy it. 

The saucer swing has been missing for a while now....since at least Sept 2017. 

I wish they would replace it!

 Drums

The bathroom building between the 2 playgrounds has a Tropical Moose Shaved Ice window. It's seasonal though so it's only open in the summer.  A very nice feature for a park though!

The little kid's playground has a play structure that has several slides, a tunnel, a rock wall, and lots of bars and poles. Also in this area are 2 baby swings, a sandbox, a small playhouse, 4 drums, and 2 rocking animals.

An elevated table filled with sand and pebbles

 During the summer water comes out of this black pole, which the kids love incorporating into their sand play. So bring buckets and sand toys!

The spray pole, adjacent to the playground, is on from Memorial through Labor Day

Walker Lake is gorgeous and stocked with bluegill, catfish, and largemouth bass.

The amphitheater is a short walk from the playground.
